Percentage incidence within + 10% of the expected ADA positivity incidence of Test (6% ADA in Test is anticipated from literature) is not considered clinically significant. Evaluation of immunogenicity is carried out in a tiered fashion: 1. Screening assay to assess if samples were positive or negative for anti-PegG-CSF. 2. Confirmatory assays for samples that were positive in the screening assay. The confirmatory assays assessed if antibodies were specific for INTP5, Neulasta, PEG and/or filgrastim. 3. Titer assay was performed to determine titer of the anti-PEG-GCSF antibody samples. 4. Neutralizing antibody (NAb) assay for those samples that were positive in the confirmatory assays to assess the neutralizing capability of the antibody to inhibit pegfilgrastim activity.

PD Endpoints for Baseline Adjusted ANC: λz (Lambda-z)

First order rate constant associated with the terminal (log-linear) portion of the curve. This was estimated via linear regression of time vs. log concentration. This parameter was calculated by linear least squares regression analysis using last three or more non-zero plasma concentration values.

Time frame: Venous blood samples (2 mL each) were withdrawn at pre-dose and at 8, 16, 24 (Day 2), 48 (Day 3), 72 (Day 4), 96 (Day 5), 120 (Day 6), 144 (Day 7), 240 (Day 11), 336 (Day 15) and 504 (Day 22) following 1st and 2nd dose administration.
